Aerobics.
I worked until 6:15 again tonight, then had spaghetti with my dad, came home, and did my first day of "serious aerobic exercise." And since I couldn't get the workout DVD I bought for this purpose to play (because I don't actually have a remote control for my TV or DVD player), this consisted of me setting a timer for 20 minutes and alternating between running in place, pushups, and lying on my back while raising my legs in the air (I'm sure there's a word for this). It sucked. But hey, I'm up to five days in a row now.

Italian Coffee
1/2 oz amaretto
1/2 oz kahlua
6 oz hot coffee
Ideally, one would pour the amaretto and kahlua into a mug, pour the coffee over the alcohol, and top with whipped cream. Since I lack the patience or the resources to make real drip coffee, I had to modify this recipe quite a bit. To wit, I made some Harris Teeter brand instant coffee, added a splash of each liqueur, stirred, and topped with whipped cream. It is a hot mess, and my camera battery died right after I took the picture, so I'll post it tomorrow. But at least it's a warm beverage on this freezing night.
Edit: Here it is. Under a cut, because I am frankly embarrassed by this one.
